GERMANIA WIKI
Auth: ZeBobbel
Node.js v20
WIKI MANUAL
VERSION 9.0 // ALPHAPLACE ARCHIVE ENGINE
This engine is a powerful hybrid system supporting MediaWiki Syntax, standard Markdown, and raw HTML. Below is the ultimate guide to formatting your documents.
[01] Text Formatting
You can use standard MediaWiki syntax or regular Markdown for basic text formatting. Both are fully supported and can be mixed.
| Syntax (Type this) | Result |
|---|---|
| '''Bold Text''' or **Bold Text** | Bold Text |
| ''Italic Text'' or *Italic Text* | Italic Text |
| == Heading 2 == | Heading 2 |
| === Heading 3 === | Heading 3 |
| * Bullet Point | • Bullet Point |
[02] Links & References
Linking to other articles is crucial for a wiki. Use double brackets to link internally, or single brackets for external websites.

[03] Images & Icons
Upload your images via the [ UPLOAD FILE ] button in the sidebar. Once uploaded, use the exact filename (including extension like .png or .jpg) to embed it.

[[File:germania_logo.png | 300px | right | Logo of Germania]]
[[File:Pumpkin.png | 16px]] ZeBobbel
[04] Page Structure
Categories
To sort a page into the global database, add category tags anywhere in the document (usually at the very bottom). The system will extract them and generate a neat category box at the end of the page.
[[Category:Classified Documents]]
Table of Contents (TOC)
The parser automatically generates a clickable Table of Contents if your page has 3 or more headings. You can control this behavior with these magic words (place them anywhere):
- __TOC__ → Forces the TOC to appear at this exact line.
- __NOTOC__ → Disables the TOC completely.
Escaping Text (NoWiki)
If you want to write code or template syntax without the engine executing it, wrap it in
[05] Standard Templates
Templates are pre-designed components (like Infoboxes or Alerts) that you can easily summon onto your page without writing complex HTML. Here are the official AlphaPlace templates ready to use:
1. Faction Infobox
Generates a right-aligned data box for factions. The border color changes based on the alignment (Hostile = Red, Allied = Green). If discord is left empty, it shows "No Data".
{{Template:Infobox Faction
| name = Germania
| image = germania_logo.png
| leader = ZeBobbel
| founded = 20/09/2020
| population = 101
| alignment = Allied
| discord = https://discord.gg/...
}}
2. Player Profile Infobox
Generates a right-aligned data box for players. "Rank = Admin" highlights the badge red.
{{Template:Infobox Player
| name = ZeBobbel
| image = Pumpkin.png
| rank = Admin
| faction = Germania
| joined = 20/09/2020
| status = Active
}}
3. System Alerts
Draws attention to important notes. Use "type=warning" for a red alert, or leave it empty for a blue info box.
{{Template:Alert | type=warning | 1=This area was griefed and is highly radioactive. }}
4. Block Quotes
Elegant styling for lore quotes or chat messages.
{{Template:Quote | 1=I have no idea what I'm doing with this Redstone. | 2=Anonymous Traveler }}
[06] Advanced Logic (For Developers)
If you want to create your own templates (by creating a page starting with template-...), you can utilize variables and MediaWiki parser logic. The V9 Engine supports recursive parsing from inside out.
Variables & Defaults
Use triple brackets to request a variable. You can add a fallback separated by a pipe |.
{{{1 | Default Anonymous Variable}}}
The #if Function
Checks if a variable is provided. Perfect for hiding table rows if a user leaves a field empty.
{{#if: {{{discord|}}} | Join our Discord! | No Discord provided. }}
The #ifeq Function
Compares two strings. Useful for dynamic coloring or checking user inputs.
{{#ifeq: {{{status|}}} | Hostile | color: red; | color: green; }}
